Take that! In 20 or 30 years…

I’m the kind of person that doesn’t even hear lyrics in music, game voice logs might as well be white noise to me. On the other hand, when the scene tells a story without words and you have to connect the dots yourself, I find that satisfying. Even basic examples like a corpse reaching toward the glowing red button.

Not that these are wrong, but I wonder about recency bias. Have these indicators been trending downward for 20 years, or is this just a response to our current crop of morons?

If Obama v2 was elected tomorrow, would these instantly reverse, like the international opinion seemed to when he took over from W?

Imo’s in St. Louis is my favorite overall. Thin, crispy crust, square cut, Provel as the base cheese. It scratches an itch that all other pizzas don’t. I’d eat it 7 days a week if I could, hot or cold.

I’ve had pizzas with superior ingredients, made in fancy ovens, served with wine instead of cold beer, but if I could get any pizza right now, it’d be Imo’s black olive or veggie pizza.

Not to be too much of a downer, but all of these cute Google search results and other “quirky” “fun” things billion dollar corporations do used to seem so harmless but now it just reads like a friendly logo on a baby mulching machine.

I’ve always thought about that. There must be some quirk of how subspace comms work that makes it obvious when someone is aiming a message at you.

The real thing that gets me is how do view screens work? That would seem to require a shared format to encode/decode.

Absolutely. I’ve spent the last 20 years road tripping in TX and Bucees made it so much nicer that even the non-Bucees stops have had to up their game or people will straight up hold it for the next 100 miles.

If I have my family in the car, I have a mutiny on my hands if I refuse to pull over.

Have some links for the manipulation? I don’t think the Republicans really want to see either of them, frankly but I like Crockett.

That’s hilarious. I will admit, as a rank amateur writer, that reading or watching some absolute crap is more motivating than something complex and good.

Thinking “shit, man, I could do better than that” is a powerful force.

I liked Lower Decks contribution to this debate. Maybe with one merge it’s debatable, but beyond that the answer becomes clearer.

As for the Voyager game, it’s not elaborated on. Tuvix is a pretty good hero, has both the Talaxian and Vulcan traits, comes in real handy on some away missions, but it may be better to have separate Tuvok and Neelix to hold down two stations instead of one. Still debatable, but the way the game works the story doesn’t really adapt to it.

Very common here in the US as an alternative to “bless you”.

Sorry, that would mean the rich would get richer slightly slower. Best we can do is make insurance twice as expensive to appease our donors.

Another person of refinement and good taste, I see. Both gone way too early. I have been rationing Discworld since Pratchett died.

From the date I was thinking Vietnam, but with the ruined city on the horizon maybe it’s about mutually assured destruction / nuclear war.

Cronenberg’s Law: For every Garnet there’s a Brundlefly level freak of nature.

It’s always great to see someone scratch their own itch, so kudos. However, I’m curious what the actual pain point is? Does your mouse not sample fast enough? Noticeable input lag on a gamepad? Seems like this would be a bug with the implementation if it needs to be overclocked to fix…

That story made no sense. That guy is a glorified forklift, why would you simulate a body/that much intelligence when the computer could just do its job without being capable of resentment?

Oh, that makes more sense, but then “unsigned” void?

Okay, U8, sure, but a boolean is U0? Surely U1 if you absolutely must…
